In computer programming, a subroutine is a sequence of program instructions that perform a specific task, packaged as a unit. This unit can then be used in programs wherever that particular task should be performed. Subprograms may be defined within programs, or separately in libraries that can be used by multiple programs.

In different programming languages a subroutine may be called a procedure, a function, a routine, a method, or a subprogram. The generic term callable unit is sometimes used

As the name subprogram suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that is used as one step in a larger program or another subprogram. A subroutine is often coded so that it can be started (called) several times and/or from several places during one execution of the program, including from other subroutines, and then branch back (return) to the next instruction after the call once the subroutine's task is done.

Subroutines are a powerful programming tool, and the syntax of many programming languages includes support for writing and using them. Judicious use of subroutines (for example, through the structured programming approach) will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program, while increasing its quality and reliability. Subroutines, often collected into libraries, are an important mechanism for sharing and trading software. The discipline of object-oriented programming is based on objects and methods (which are subroutines attached to these objects or object classes).

The content of a subroutine is its body, the piece of program code that is executed when the subroutine is called or invoked.

A subroutine may be written so that it expects to obtain one or more data values from the calling program (its parameters or formal parameters). The calling program provides actual values for these parameters, called arguments. Different programming languages may use different conventions for passing arguments.

The advantages of breaking a program into subroutines include: decomposing a complex programming task into simpler steps: this is one of the two main tools of structured programming, along with data structures, reducing duplicate code within a program, enabling reuse of code across multiple programs, dividing a large programming task among various programmers, or various stages of a project, hiding implementation details from users of the subroutine, improving traceability, i.e. most languages offer ways to obtain the call trace which includes the names of the involved subroutines and perhaps even more information such as file names and line numbers; by not decomposing the code into subroutines, debugging would be impaired severely.

Generally, instant messaging provides the ability for at least two computing devices to exchange messages in real time.

Mobile device 135 may further be configured to include a client application that enables the end-user to log into an end-user account that may be managed by a network application. Such an end-user account, for example, may be configured to enable the end-user to receive emails, send/receive IM messages, SMS messages, and access selected web pages, maintain a digital wallet, or the like.

Network 120 is configured to couple mobile device 135, 151 & Personal Computer 125 & 152, as well as other client devices not illustrated, and their components, with other network devices, such as central server 115, and the like. Network 120 is configured to couple responder client devices including mobile phone 135, 151 & Personal Computer 125 & 152 with central server 115.

Though for illustrative purposes network and wireless network are shown combined, in various environments employing the present invention, network and wireless network 120 may be the separate or same network, different networks, or different networks including a combination of overlapping components and distinct components. The discussion herein that describes network 130 may therefore be applicable to describe network 120.

Network 120 may include any of a variety of wired or wireless sub-networks that may further overlay stand-alone ad-hoc networks, and the like, to provide an infrastructure-oriented connection for mobile device 135. Such sub-networks may include mesh networks, Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks, cellular networks, and the like. Additionally, network 120 may connect to mobile devices with a wired connection, such as cable, phone lines, Ethernet wires, and the like. Network 120 may include wide area networks, such as the Internet. The invention may be used either generally with networks, specifically with wireless networks, or with various combinations of wireless and wired networks.

Network 120 may further include an autonomous system of terminals, gateways, routers, and the like connected by wireless radio links, and the like. These connectors may be configured to move freely and randomly and organize themselves arbitrarily, such that the topology of network 120 may change rapidly.

Network 120 may further employ a plurality of access technologies including 2nd (2G), 3rd (3G), 4th (4G) generation radio access for cellular systems, WLAN, Wireless Router (WR) mesh, and the like. Access technologies such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and future access networks may enable wide area coverage for mobile devices, such as mobile device 135 with various degrees of mobility. For example, network 120 may enable a radio connection through a radio network access such as Global System for Mobil communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), and the like. In essence, network 120 may include virtually any communication mechanism by which information may travel between mobile device 135 and another computing device, network, and the like.

Network 120 may further include or employ one or more network gateways (not shown) that serve as intermediaries between mobile device 135 and other network devices, such as central server 115. A network gateway may receive data from a device or network, transform the data, and forward the data to another device or network. A network gateway may perform a transformation in more than one direction. Transformation may, for example, include modifying protocols or communications mechanisms in order to facilitate communication between two devices or two networks, each of which may employ different protocols. A WAP gateway is one type of network gateway. A WAP gateway may facilitate communication between a first device that uses the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), and a second device. The second device may, for example, communicate using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). An SMS gateway is a network gateway that facilitates communication between a device using the Short Message Service (SMS) protocol and another device, such as one using HTTP. A WAP and SMS gateway combines the features of a WAP gateway and an SMS gateway.

FIG. 1 shows mobile device 135 communicating with central server 115, and central server 115 communicating with Interfaces and Functions Providers Server(s) 150. FIG. 1 also shows central server 115 communicating with client devices 135, 151, 125 & 152. Each of these communications may employ a direct connection, or one or more networks, or a combination thereof. For illustrative purposes, FIG. 1 shows communication between central server 115 and Interfaces and Functions Providers Server(s) 150 employing network 120, however environments that include this communication may be employed with the present invention. In particular, central server 115 and Interfaces and Functions Providers Server(s) 150 may employ any one or more of direct communication, a local area network, or a wide area network, such as network 120.

A network enabling any one or more of the above communications may employ any form of computer readable media for communicating information from one electronic device to another. Also, the network may include the Internet in addition to local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), direct connections, such as through a universal serial bus (USB) port, other forms of computer-readable media, or any combination thereof. On an interconnected set of LANs, including those based on differing architectures and protocols, a router acts as a link between LANs, enabling messages to be sent from one to another. Also, communication links within LANs typically include twisted wire pair or coaxial cable, while communication links between networks may utilize analog telephone lines, full or fractional dedicated digital lines including T1, T2, T3, and T4, Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDNs), Digital Subscriber Lines (DSLs), wireless links including satellite links, or other communications links known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, remote computers and other related electronic devices could be remotely connected to either LANs or WANs via a modem and temporary telephone link. In essence, the network includes any communication method by which information may travel between central server 115, Interfaces and Functions Providers Server(s), and Developers, Sponsors, Advertisers and Providers 150, client devices 151, 152, 125 & 135, and other computing devices (not shown).

Additionally, communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave, data signal, or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The terms “modulated data signal,” and “carrier-wave signal” include a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information, instructions, data, and the like, in the signal. By way of example, communication media includes wired media such as twisted pairs, coaxial cable, fiber optics, wave guides, and other wired media and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared, and other wireless media.

Client devices 151, 135, 125 & 152 are computing devices that may be employed by a user, referred to as a receiver and sender, for receiving and sending or sharing interfaces and functions and/or function(s) links and associate data and user instructions. A variety of sender and/or receiver client devices may be employed in accordance with the invention. Client devices may include mobile devices, digital home clients such as personal computers and media centers, and other client devices. Generally, clients may include virtually any computing device, portable or non-portable, capable of receiving and sending a message over a network, such as network 120, or the like. Clients may include devices such as mobile device 151 (135) described herein. Though FIG. 1 illustrates only four Clients 151, 135, 125 & 152, it is envisioned that the invention may be practiced in an environment that includes a large community of sender and receiver clients. Thus, sender and receiver clients or members of network or Interfaces and Functions provider or user or receiver may number in the hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or virtually any number.

Though FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a system having each of network central server(s) 115 and Interfaces and Functions Providers Server(s) 150 as separate computing devices, the invention is not so limited. Software, hardware, or hardware-software combinations implementing any portion of these components may be combined with any other component on a single computing device, or arranged in a different manner among multiple computing devices. Some portion or all of the functionality of any component may be distributed or duplicated among multiple computing devices.

Devices that may operate as these network devices include personal computers desktop computers, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, servers, and the like, or any combination thereof.

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a system having an ads server (not shown). Briefly, an advertisements server provides advertisements, such as banner advertisements, application advertisements or other types of advertisements. An application advertisement is an advertisement that is associated with an interaction with an application. It is typically integrated with the application presentation in some way. A search advertising is an example of application advertisements. When a search is performed, a search application may select one or more ads based on the keywords of the search. The search application may combine search ads with the search results, and present them in an integrated manner. In some embodiments, the integration may be so complete that there is not a clear distinction between the search ads and the search results. In some embodiments, one or more ways of indicating the search ads may be included, such as text, color, line separators, and the like. Similarly, other applications may generate application ads. A mapping application, for example, may use the location specification in a request to generate advertisements based on the location, such as those of businesses in the area, and may display an advertisement on the map.

A banner advertisement typically is placed in a location that is separate from, or more distinguishable from, an application's results. For example, it may be at the top or bottom of a page, or along the margin. A banner advertisement may be selected based on criteria similar to those for an application ad, based on different criteria, or randomly selected

Ads server (not shown) may have an associated ads database, which may be integrated or in communication with central server 150. An ads database may store data pertaining to advertisement contents, constraints, and rules pertaining to the use of each advertisement. At least a portion of the data stored in ads server may be specified by an advertiser. An advertiser may specify data describing the advertisement contents, constraints, and rules pertaining to the use of each advertisement.

Ads server may receive data or a set of parameters to use for determining whether to provide an advertisement, selecting and generating an advertisement, including data upon which various determinations are made. Selecting and generating an advertisement may include selecting an advertiser, selecting an advertisement associated with the advertiser, or selecting content to include in an advertisement. The data upon which these and other determinations may be based may include information derived from user data, user profile, information related to interactions among users and interfaces and function links and associate references nodes or objects received by the central server, and the like. The data upon which these and other determinations may be based may also include information about the user or mobile device, actions that the user or mobile device have taken, data pertaining to one or more advertisers, relevant events, and a variety of other types of information.

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment in which mobile device 135 communicates with central server 115. A user of mobile device 135, referred to as a provider and/or receiver of interfaces and/or functions and/or links of interfaces and/or links of functions based on privacy settings of provider and/or receiver, may employ mobile device 135 to send and/or receive interfaces and/or functions and/or links of interfaces and/or links to central server 115. Central server 115 may receive and process the interfaces and/or functions and/or links of interfaces and/or links from mobile device 135. Central server 115 may select a set of connected or related users of user devices 151 and 152. Central server 115 may employ identifiers or addresses of senders and receivers devices, or both. It may, for example, employ a login name or email address of a sender and/or receiver. It may employ an IP address, MIN, or other identifier of a device. Central server 115 may employ any one or more of these identifiers or addressing mechanisms when communicating with a sender and/or receiver device. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the term “sender” and “receiver” may be used to refer to a person, a device, or a combination of a person and a device.
